• 23 Sep 2021 in Senate: Madam Temporary Speaker, I rise pursuant to Standing Order No.191 that talks about composition of select committees, which goes further to say that a select Committee shall consist of an odd number of Senators being not less than seven and not more than nine. The Senate Majority Leader has requested for patience as the leadership consults on reconstitution of committees. However, the Committee on Devolution and Intergovernmental Relations is not functional as a result of that Standing Order. It lost Sen. (Dr.) Kabaka, Sen. Prengei and Sen. Mwaura. So, we are unable to hold meetings. The Committee on Devolution and ... view
• 23 Sep 2021 in Senate: Madam Deputy Speaker, it would be dangerous for a Member to hold brief for a member of the Executive. The manner in which this House---- view
• 23 Sep 2021 in Senate: Madam Deputy Speaker, I agree with you that it is dangerous for a Member to hold brief for a member of the Executive. view
• 23 Sep 2021 in Senate: Madam Deputy Speaker, the experience that we have had with the two CSs has helped us to see how this House can hold the Executive in a presidential system to account. If we continue to use the Committee of the Whole as a tool for holding the Executive to account, it could be a brilliant idea that we can achieve halfway of what we have in the Prime Minister’s questions. Instead of calling the CSs before Plenary, the Speaker can call the House as a Committee of the Whole and designate a day every week where Members of the Executive ... view

• 3 Jun 2021 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. This includes proper use of zebra crossings and road signage, pedestrian ways and pavements to be properly designated and provided and the same can be enforced through county legislation. We also observed that there is lack of critical facilities. For example, the cemetery, disaster preparedness, county-owned public theatre, inadequate sanitation and strong water drainage which needs urgent and immediate action if the conferment into city status is to have valuable or meaningful effect. Mr. Speaker, Sir, on that we also observed that the cities that are already established, are also suffering from similar deficiencies that ... view

• 3 Jun 2021 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, when the county government of Nakuru responded - that is why I wanted the annexures to be part of the report so that we can see the letter from the county government of Nakuru - they gave us pro-active measures that they are taking to ensure that street children are protected and their rights safeguarded. Mr. Speaker, Sir, the county government of Nakuru did not address itself specifically to the issues of the children who were reported to have been unaccounted for. view
• 3 Jun 2021 in Senate: The Committee on Devolution and Intergovernmental Relations in its Report has indicated that even though the county government responded to the matter of street children, it was not convinced that the issue that had been raised by the Senate Committee on Labour and Social Protection had been addressed. view
